Despite sending the smallest delegate of 7 student participants, UniKL found itself in the winning circle with the project entitled "Comparison of ECG and Hematological Parameters between Active and Passive Smokers", a project supervised by Mr. Muhammad Taufiq Badaruddin. It's a one of a kind programme which provides a platform for undergraduate students to hone and showcase their presentation skills and share their research activities. More importantly, the symposium would allow future collaborations and networking with other universities, future graduates and potential employers.
